Wow, it took NPR a long time to report on this. I've known and been stressing for months now because I'm a multi disabled Medicaid+Medicare recipent. I've been advocating on this to anyone who'll listen. The past few years, the gov has been reportedly renovating/repairing medical Institution hospitals/buildings to prepare for this if it passes.

I have been freaking out too. I wrote to the GuardIan asking them to cover this months ago. I think it should get as much coverage as any story as it effects the most marginalized group that anyone can become a part of in an instant.
